FERN OR BRACKEN?

Fern or bracken leaf lying across brown and fallen woodland leaves.

Don't know how to tell the difference between a fern and bracken. Is anyone able to explain?

Since you asked, Wikipedia has something to say:

A beautiful fallen leaf! :)

Re your query on my post - Bombay became Mumbai in 1995 as demanded by the locals who felt that 'Bombay' was the corrupted form of 'Mumbai'. The natives believe that Mumbai is named after the Goddess Mumbadevi who has a temple dedicated to her in South Mumbai. Now, there is a section of people for whom 'Bombay' has a connotation for old world charm, when the city was not bursting at its seams and life was beautiful. :)

I have no clue, but those look like what we call ferns around here.
